This week on the podcast, we wrap up our month in Paris with the film that trailers described as being "the gayest… Frenchest… French gay porn film which will fill your heart's desire," Jean Estienne's 1978 romantic drama, ET... DIEU CRÉA LES HOMMES ("AND... GOD CREATED MEN). The first feature-length effort by a poster artist and filmmaker whose previous film was banned for "degrading the human spirit," ET... DIEU CRÉA LES HOMMES is an unheralded lost masterpiece of French gay cinema.
Over the course of this episode, we'll dig a little deeper into the French gay film scene of the late 1970s, explore the erotic possibilities of a landline phone, and celebrate an early Fistmas in April.
